Answer Key

D. Hedgehog
They have strong muscles that act as a drawstring to pull their skin tight around their sides and down over their feet and head when frightened. This "rolls" the hedgehog into a spiny ball.

B. Fur
As chinchillas roll and frolic in special grooming sand or dust, they remove excess oils and moisture to keep their velvety-soft fur healthy and clean.

D. Corner
Ferrets tend to back up into a corner when going to the bathroom. Be sure the corner litter box is big enough so all of your ferret can fit inside of it.

B. Kangaroo
Sugar gliders are marsupials, like kangaroos and wombats.

B. Awake at Night
Nocturnal animals sleep during the day and are active at night.

D. Pouch
Female marsupials have a pouch in which they carry and nurse their young.

A. Multi-functional
The best treats taste great and also satisfy your pet's natural instinct (to chew or nest) or are nutritious. Know what treats are best for your pet. For example, rats need low fat treats, and ferrets should have treats high in protein.

B. From Food
Gerbils are adapted to life in desert regions and obtain almost all of their needed water from the natural foods that make up their diet. But having fresh drinking water available to your pet gerbil is still necessary to quench her occasional water needs.

A. Sugar Gliders
With a skin fold that stretches between their front and back legs, these tiny animals can catch air like a parachute and glide over 150 feet through the air.
